Episode notes
Switch 2 Port Nearly Matches PlayStation 5
- Resident Evil Requiem runs impressively on both PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 with only subtle differences.
- Snowbike Mike and Greg Miller note the Switch 2 port is native, full-featured, and visually close to PS5 aside from hair/detail nitpicks.
Pick Difficulty With Saving Rules In Mind
- Choose difficulty deliberately because Classic mode enforces limited saves via ink ribbons.
- Greg warns Classic restricts saves, while Standard Modern lets you save freely, affecting tension and playstyle.
Two Characters Deliver Distinct Horror And Power
- The game balances horror and action by giving Grace a prolonged horror experience and Leon a power-fantasy action arc.
- Greg Miller calls it the 'ultimate Resident Evil experience,' praising how remakes' lessons inform level design and pacing.
